PH71761: WARNING MESSAGE IGYCB7311-W ERRONEOUSLY GENERATED FOR DYNAMIC-LENGTH NON-LEVEL 01 ITEMS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• INITCHECK(LAX) causes the compiler to incorrectly report that
  dynamic-length elementary items were used before being set,
  generating IGYCB7311-W warnings for non-level 01 items.
  

Local fix

• Specify a VALUE clause for the affected items, or move them to
  level 01.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users compiling COBOL programs with IBM      *
  *                 Enterprise COBOL compiler for z/OS 6.4 with  *
  *                 the INITCHECK(LAX) compiler option in        *
  *                 effect, with their WORKING-STORAGE SECTION   *
  *                 or LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION containing a group  *
  *                 that contains subordinate dynamic-length     *
  *                 elementary items, and with code in their     *
  *                 PROCEDURE DIVISION that initializes those    *
  *                 items.                                       *
  *                                                              *

  *                        DATA DIVISION.                        *
  *                        WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.              *

  *                          03 WS-STRING PICTURE X DYNAMIC.     *
  *                        PROCEDURE DIVISION.                   *
  *                            MOVE "test" TO WS-STRING          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: INITCHECK(LAX) would cause the compiler *
  *                      to erroneously report that all such     *
  *                      dynamic-length elementary items were    *
  *                      used before they were set.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was erroneously reporting subordinate
  dynamic-length elementary items were used before they were set
  when the INITCHECK(LAX) option was in effect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed.
